which_chickSo I'm at the grocery today, buying food and proper milk. One of the things I bought was a small bag (1/2 peck) of locally grown peaches. They smelled like peaches. They yielded gently when I touched them. They were soft and inviting. I mentioned to the checkout lady that I had not planned on getting peaches but these had persuaded me with their ripeness that what I really wanted was a half peck of peaches. And the checkout lady said to me, "I like the ones from the can better."
How can this be? Do other people like canned peaches better than fresh? Is my checkout lady speaking some language in which "I'm sorry, I don't speak your language" comes out sounding like "I like the ones from the can better."?!?
Color me not-getting-it.
Dinner at Chez Moi was lightly wilted spinach with (real) lemon and (real) butter and sushi rice. And salt. Dessert was one of the aforementioned peaches. It was infinitely preferable to the ones from the can.
